This lesson continues the account of Joseph’s brothers grappling with guilt and conviction. After returning home from Egypt, they find their silver returned in their grain sacks—deepening their fear and unease. When famine drives them back, Judah takes personal responsibility for Benjamin’s safety, a mark of his growing maturity and repentance. Upon their return, Joseph weeps at the sight of Benjamin but continues to test their hearts. The lesson emphasizes how God uses time, pressure, and circumstances to bring about true change. Guilt may haunt us, but God patiently works to restore us through conviction, responsibility, and grace.
